Sweden.
It always seems to me like a great place (although I've never been there). Considering what a small country it is in terms of population (approx. 9million) it leads the world in many political areas, particularly those relating to environmental issues.
It is supposed to have a high standard of living - and the life expectancy is particularly high.
I often meet Swedish people here in Britain. My girlfriend's friend is Swedish, a guy I went to school with was Swedish and a guy I work with here at the university is Swedish.
They also have a decent football team.
So, come on Swedes, let's hear some more points (good and bad) about Sweden. I hear that one down side is that the cost of living (food, accomodation, etc) is very high......

But the best thing of them all is THE LADIES (but I know u knew that already)!!!! ;)

Yup!! ain't no place like sweden.
maybe sweden would not be a first choice for a tourist from another country.
We have nothing that is really spectacular or great or big like most other countries do , i mean no eifel tower or disney land or huge pyramids.
BUT we also don't have ANY really BIG problems like most other do.(im typing Lecoeur style haha!!)
Its just a overall nice clean high standard country. I love it =)
And like Phobia said , people is very differen't in differen't parts of the country.
For example in the northen parts people tend to be more quiet
But in other parts people are very chatty , especialy in gothenburg!!!!! man!! they never stop talking!!

"haha!! why?"
Because they are some of the best fans around, always singing and cheering, it's always fun when the Swedes are in town!
The best fans award goes, of course, to the singing Swedes who are such a colourful fixture at the Australian Open. After their man, Thomas Johansson, claimed the final prize, the Swedish fans showed their sensitivity to the loser by singing Happy Birthday to Marat Safin. The Russian thanked the Swedes for bringing so much atmosphere to the matches; they responded with: "We are Sweden, gold and blue / Oh Safin, we love you."
=D
What part of Australia does your uncle live in Sido?
There are a lot of bushfires in Australia...
Yeah, Australia's dangerous but I love living on the edge!! =D Hmmm... seriously I've never really thought of it being very dangerous, I mean, I'm still alive right?! =D

You can have like ten differen't species of deadly spiders in your backyard!!

"Im telling you Australia is dangerous!!! You got like thousands of different DEADLY animals , insects and plants over there."
No, no, no no no! You've got it all wrong Sido, Australia is probably one of the most safest places on Earth. You just gotta look out for the...
Bristle Worms Bristle worms possess numerous razor-sharp calcium carbonate bristles which the animal may raise if threatened. These bristles penetrate the skin easily and cause intense itching and sometimes infections.
And ofcourse Australia is home to some of the most deadlist snakes and spiders in the World, and don't forget the man eating sharks and crocs!
It's a harmless place, really =)
But really, if your careful you shouldn't run into any nasties!
"i watch to much "Crocodile Hunter" =) haha!!"
Yes, indeed you have been watching too much! You should watch Neighbors or Home & Away insted, no deadly animals there! Except you probably will go braindead and develop an intense hatred of Australian's =)

I know! I searched for Swedish Deadly Animals are there were no site's with any information!
Though I should point out most of those bad animals live out in the bush and almost never come into the city and urban area's. I've never seen a loose snake, only in Zoo's. And Sydney have worse spider's then Melbourne, hee hee hee!
But yes, I guess in comparison Australia must seem like a very extreme place to people.

Another fake rumour is that swedish is suposed to be this big porn country.
We don't have any big porn industry at all!! Atleast not compared to the porn nation number one USA , and they are the ones that spread the rumour haha!!
I think that rumour begun because sweden and even more denmark was pioners in the sexual revolution in the 6o's 70's and prodused alot of cheesy sex info videos and yes..porn.
When Ali G introdused Madonna on the eropean grammy awards held in sweden he of course made jokes about sweden and porn......kind of irritating just because its not true.
But he called sweden switzerland haha!! and that was funny!!!
Because its true Sweden is pretty anonymus and people don't know much about the country.
"Hello Switzerland!!!"

Yeah the huggorm (snake) is kind of dangerous but only for old people with weak harts or a small child or over sensitive people in generall.
The flugswamp is the same (mushrom).
We don't have animal that goes "BANG !! now your dead motherfucker!!!"
